With the right mindset, skillset, and approach, you can make MIDI drums sound just about as good as live drums. While it can be noticeable when someone doesn’t record live drums on a track, it doesn’t mean that it has to sound lacking. As you can imagine, this doesn’t really work for the beginning or bedroom producer.Ī great way to still have great drums in a track is by using sampled drums or MIDI drums. Usually, you’ll need a nicely treated room with microphones that can be positioned in various, specific areas. Many musicians and producers wish they could have amazing live drums on their track, but it’s just not always possible.
Recording live drums can be a process that not everyone has the time to learn.
